Hi just wondering how long everyone's ovulation pain lasts and how it feels to you? Do you get mild period like cramps or sharp twinges?

Very sharp twinges causing breath-taking pain for 45 minutes or so. Can't put weight on whatever leg is the side of the pain.

I don't bother with painkillers because I know it's over before they kick in.

It looks v similar to my husband's early kidney-stone pain!!!

Oooo that sound's painful. I'm just curious as I always get about 3 days of very mild cramps but my daughter gets the pain that you describe and lasts a short time.
